On Shabbat, festivals, and Chol Hamoed, tefillin are not worn. Place the arm tefillin on the left biceps (a left-handed person, on the right), and recite the following blessing before tightening it, mindful that it applies also to the head tefillin. Do not interrupt between putting on the arm tefillin and the head tefillin.

בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְיָ אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ מֶֽלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם, אֲשֶׁר קִדְּשָֽׁנוּ בְּמִצְוֹתָיו, וְצִוָּנוּ לְהָנִיחַ תְּפִלִּין:

Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe, who has sanctified us with His commandments, and commanded us to put on tefillin.

If one spoke between putting on the arm tefillin and the head tefillin, recite the following blessing on the head tefillin.

בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְיָ אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ מֶֽלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם, אֲשֶׁר קִדְּשָֽׁנוּ בְּמִצְוֹתָיו, וְצִוָּנוּ עַל מִצְוַת תְּפִלִּין:

Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe, who has sanctified us with His commandments, and commanded us concerning the mitzvah of tefillin.
